Security Researchers Hacked iPhone

It is the first time that this technique has been publicly demonstrated on a real-world telephone. The attack allowed them to execute code on the iPhone when a user visits a malicious website. The demonstrated attack code steals the SMS database from the phone, albeit other attack payloads are easily possible. The organisers of the contest will communicate the details of the attack to the vendors and will not make the details of the attack public untill the vendors can properly patch it.
